Sound Plan
Sound Plan
This documentation is evidence that I have gone through the process of sourcing sounds and music options to use for my film. Sound effects and music is added to the film during editing in the post production process. They are important and can effect the overall tone and feeling of a scene. For example, suspenseful music would enhance a scary scene and make the audience feel the suspense even more. Also, happy and upbeat music would enhance a happy and lively scene, perhaps a scene throughout the films equilibrium stage or the resolution of disruption. Sourcing sound and music is also important because there are a lot of laws and rules around the usage of music and sounds. For example, a lot of music is copyrighted and therefore cannot be legally used in your film unless you have permission from every creator involved within that song. Most film makers use royalty-free, public domain music because it is free to use by anyone. Some film producers choose to create their own sound effects and music or decide to try and gain the right and permission to use sound effects and music that is copyrighted. I have completed my process of sourcing sound effects and music in a table because it is an easy and organised way of keeping track of all the music I may want to use and what I would use it for. I have also included a link to all potential music options because that way they are easy to find again and I won't loose any music that I have found. I have not included any sound effects in the table because I do not want to use any in my film. This process of sourcing sound and music effects my final production because it is used to help me decide what music I want to use in my film. The music I can choose can change my film a lot. It can enhance certain emotions that I want the audience to feel, it can create certain emotions and also add professionalism and creativity to my film, making it more interesting and enjoyable to watch. Overall, I think my process of finding possible music options is professional and organised, however, it is not industry standard. This is because every film producer has a different process of sourcing sound and music options and there is not right way to do so, it all depends on the film makers preferred way.
